Born in Madrid, Spain, Marta Perrone came to this country at age 5, landing first like many immigrants in New York. After attending UCLA and majoring in Spanish and Linguistics, Marta decided to fill her own American dream by owning her own business. When Marta started her own family, she realized how important it was to have competent help to assist. This is how Domestic Connections Agency started in 1989. As her business grew, she became an expert in her field and wrote her first book in 2006 primarily directed to the household employer entitled "Help! How to Find Hire Train and Maintain Your Household Help!" winning the Mom's Choice Award for 2007. Her latest Book/DVD set "The Professional Housekeeper" published in 2010 won the "Mom's Choice Award" for the same year and was developed to train primarily domestic workers on every aspect of their career from how to qualify, interview, form a good employment agreement, maintain communication and professional protocol on the job to how to clean, use the right cleaning products, cook basic meals, organize, launder clothes, table set, serve and more.
